Fate Lyrics by Chaka Khan

What Cha’ Gonna Do For Me

1981

[Verse 1]
When you walked into my lonely life tonight
I saw my destiny, I saw eternity tonight
And the moment I held you I knew it
What we do is decided before we do it

[Chorus]
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman

[Verse 2]
Time stood still and we were lost on words to say
And though the people stared, they seemed a million miles away
Oh, we knew it was love we were feeling
We were destined to give it a whole new meaning

[Chorus]
Fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman

[Verse 3]
In my heart I feel I've loved you all my life
I was in the dark, but now I think I've seen the light
I ring like a bell with your laughter
Something tells me I'll love you forever and ever

[Bridge]
Fate (This could only be)
It was fate (This can only be)
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
(It's part of the plan)
I'll love you forever and ever

[Chorus]
Fate, this can only be
Fate, fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, now I understand
It's part of the plan
I was meant to be your woman
Fate, fate, this can only be
Fate, I never thought I'd believe in
Fate, fate, now I understand
